World Trade Center construction workers flip on massive power switch
The slow but steady march to rebuild the World Trade
Center in New York has reached another milestone.
Workers switched on a massive power system at the site
Tuesday. It eventually will provide electricity to the center’s signature
skyscraper, a transit hub and the 9/11 memorial and museum.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey says the
system of electrical feeders will supply 100 megawatts to the site.
That’s enough juice to power 64,000 typical New York City
apartments.
The unfinished One World Trade Center is now one of the
city’s tallest structures.
If construction continues at its current pace, it will
pass the Empire State Building sometime this spring.
